Two of the world’s most repressive nations each forced at least 18
journalists to flee their homes in the past year. In exile, these journalists
face enormous challenges. A CPJ special
report by Elisabeth Witchel.

In 2007, my
colleague Karen Phillips suggested we do something to mark World Refugee Day. Initially
planning to publish a brief statement, I set about reviewing our data for
background, checking in with older journalist cases about their current
situation and looking broadly for trends to highlight. As the number of cases began
counting into the hundreds, it became clear that what we had was a new indicator
of press freedom conditions. Today, we're marking our fifth year of publishing
the CPJ survey of journalists in exile, which is based on 10 years of data on
649 cases.
